“…And Then John Farted and Everybody Died” is a Cabaret-style anthology show combining dance, text, music and drag into a raucous comedy about the uniquely human experience of embarrassing ourselves. This one-woman show is eclectic, funny & unapologetically weird as Jenna takes storytelling to a whole new level. Inspired by her dad – who believes his best friend John’s farts are so bad, we may all die from the smell – Jenna is on a mission to embarrass us all. With the threat of John farting any minute, we need your true stories of the mortifying moments of your lives, don’t hold back!
About the Artist:
Jenna is a performance artist from rural Cambridgeshire, based in Peterborough. She has trained and worked as a dancer with companies such as Jasmin Vardimon 2 & Anatomical. As a dyspraxic dancer, Jenna now advocates for movement as pleasure and embodied storytelling. Her extensive dance training, intrinsic ‘clumsiness’ & empathetic nature synthesise to make her eclectic choreographic style. This virtuosic, expressive & responsive style lends itself to metamorphic character work, which Jenna has played with using verbatim and comedy. Recently, she has been experimenting with interdisciplinary storytelling in an attempt to answer the question; “What’s the best way to tell this story?”.
